Arsenal and Chelsea have contacted Barcelona regarding the availability of goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen this summer, according to reports emerging from Spain.

The Gunners are on the lookout to bring in a shot-stopper to succeed Petr Cech, while the Blues could also be in the market for a new goalkeeper with doubts over Thibaut Courtois' long-term future at Stamford Bridge.

Linked with a move to Real Madrid for some time now, Chelsea have a big decision to make over the Belgian in the coming weeks with his contract set to expire at the end of next season.

Given there's the possibility that the 26-year-old could leave Stamford Bridge on a free transfer come next July, reports in Italy last week suggested that the club will look to cash in on him.

Amid links with Alisson and Jack Butland, the latest reports coming from Barcelona-based publication Sport in Spain claim that Antonio Conte's side, as well as Arsenal, have approached Barca to see if a deal for Cillessen would be possible.

Despite only making 11 appearances for the La Liga champions last season, with nine of those coming in the Copa del Rey, the Dutchman is believed to be happy to remain at the Nou Camp as Marc-Andre ter Stegen's understudy unless he receives an offer he cannot refuse.

However, the Spanish giants have made it clear they will not be parting ways with Cillessen for anything less than his €60 million (£52m) release clause.

Liverpool are also believed to be keen on the 29-year-old as they look to replace Loris Karius in goal after his Champions League final shocker.
